Midwife in Training

November 26th, my midwife came over for a homevisit.  We went over all the homebirth supplies and did the usual exam and chatting stuff.  Sprout was confused to see her in our home at first, but quickly warmed up and started showing off.  He helped give her a tour of our home and brought her [...]
